In reply to Trish. Yeah I agree Trish. Interstellar should have received more recognition. I also really like the soundtrack to Begin Again. You should get it!

In reply to BermudaOnion(Kathy). That's quite a few of the main movies. I thought the quality among them seemed pretty high this year.

I do watch the Oscars but this year I hadn’t seen many of the movies. I was sad that Interstellar wasn’t nominated for more awards and I adored Begin Again. I was so glad that Maroon 5 performed at the Oscars because it reminded me to get the soundtrack.

I’ve never really been interested in the Oscars but did see 5 of the 8 movies nominated for best picture.

In reply to Shannon @ River City Reading. Wow you saw a lot of this year! I'm not sure Whiplash ever came to our neck of the woods, but I will eventually see it. I'm thinking more diversity will come in the future as there's been considerable criticism toward the Academy etc. Luckily there was a variety of subject matter and kinds of films this year. Hmm. But diversity is needed!

In reply to Barbara Bartels. Yeah Barbara, some years I get to movies more than other years. Thx for stopping by.

In reply to Bryan G. Robinson. Hi Bryan: I'd see The Imitation Game first, then Birdman if you get a chance. But quite a few are good!

I’m a total Oscar nerd and love all of this, but I have to say my experience has been soured by the lack of diversity this year. It’s frustrating and I feel like I shouldn’t be supporting by watching, but I know I will. Hopefully, there will at least be some dialogue.

I saw Whiplash for a second time over the weekend, which confirmed it was my favorite movie of the year (I saw all of the Best Picture noms but American Sniper), though I don’t think it will end up winning. My money is on Boyhood or Birdman, but we’ll see!

I’m impressed with your viewing. Somehow I made it to far fewer movies this year. So few, I can’t compare performances. I likely will only tune in for a little bit of the Oscars too. I hadn’t even thought about why my interest has fallen off. Will think about it.

I haven’t seen any of the Best Picture nominees and only seen one, Gone Girl, that you mentioned. Our local theater is showing all but one of the nominated Best Picture movies starting this coming weekend. Which one or two do you think I should choose to see? I won’t be able to get to all of them.
